The idea is to replace other social welfare programs with UBI so people can choose to get a job without losing their ‘welfare’.

What was Rand’s answer about his pube wig?

It’s like...watching two really bad minor league baseball teams play.  

I’m reminded of Rand Paul in the 2016 GOP primaries, trying to set a fire under his campaign by live blogging his typical day as a primary candidate. No one watched it. Except to mock it. Because it was as boring as you can imagine. He also answered the most googled questions about him, two of them were: “Is Rand Paul…

The idea is to replace the net that traps people with an actual no strings attached cash payment.

I don’t know that it’s a big portion of his “support” but at least some portion of Andrew Yang’s support comes from a group of people, mostly young white men, on the internet who call themselves “NEETs” which stands for “Not Employed, in Education or Training”. In the various forums they inhabit, they take great pride…

I think 3 time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl Champion Michael Bennett has a better shot at winning the nomination than this guy

A lot of the misconceptions about bystanders not intervening is based on wildly sensationalized and inaccurate reporting from the famous Kitty Genovese case back in the 60s. “You’re Wrong About” has a great episode about it.

This view of bystander intervention may be outdated. A new study looked at over 200 incidents captured on CCTV cameras in Amsterdam, Cape Town and Lancaster to determine how often people stepped up to defuse a devolving conflict. The average number of bystanders was 16 and in nine out of 10 incidents at least one…

I agree. I do think Royal Caribbean is partly responsible since their employees watched a minor be served drinks at their bar and didn’t do anything about it but it’s the rapists that are most to blame here. 

Probably. It may even attract people with that predation mindset. This was a coordinated attack. They found their victim, got her drunk then lured her to the room. They may even have done it before on another cruise ship or on land at a resort or something. Combine lax security, open waters and a system where the…

Cruise ship law enforcement is another factor. Basically, there isn’t any. There are onboard security officers, but they work for the cruise ship company and have limited enforcement/investigation powers.

I figure they don’t think anyone will stop them. There’s no cops, and yeah an inattentive staff. Plus, they aren’t gonna kick you off. IDK if there’s a holding cell on the ship, but I imagine there probably isn’t.

Is it that people think they can do things that they wouldn’t be able to do at home?

He’s talking about the NFC Championship game for the 2011 season. And yeah, it was an excruciating loss to the Giants because it was five quarters of exceptional, slug-it-out football, decided by two muffed punt returns. I’m not sure Eli Manning has ever played a better game; because that dude took a beating to earn…

Alex isn’t entirely wrong; The end of the 2012 seasons did see the Niners lose the Super Bowl and the Giants win it all.

Or he’s writing them himself:

Vernon Davis: elite athlete, God tier herb.

It was 2012 and the Niners had just lost a heartbreaker to the Giants in the Super Bowl (Kyle Williams fumbled two punt returns...)

The 49ers are not a San Francisco team anymore. Santa Clara is a town far away from San Francisco that has its own merits, but the 49ers are just another guy on the peninsula who says when asked that they live in SF, then when pressed as to which neighborhood, admit Santa Clara. Santa Clara is not San Francisco.
